Rare aviation & space treasures on view in Seattle
Helsinki Airport just opened a relaxation area. Now there’s yet another cool amenity at that airport: an art cinema. For the next six month’s the airport’s art gallery at gate 37 will be hosting an Art Cinema and showing the work of Finnish media artists. First up: films about the Finnish people’s relationship with […]
More than 200 people from around the region – and around the world – recently attended Aviation Geekfest 2013 in Seattle. Over the past few years this annual event has grown tremendously in scope and attendance and this year offered aviation fans a chance to visit the Museum of Flight in Seattle, Boeing’s Renton 737 […]
Earlier this week, while waiting for Captain Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger’s presentation at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, I spent some time in the Amelia Earhart exhibit. And while I don’t think I’ll take up flying my own plane anytime soon, I keep thinking about getting some new luggage. Amelia Earhart endorsed a long […]
Monday evening I was fortunate to be in the audience at Seattle’s Museum of Flight for a presentation by the recently retired Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, the now-legendary pilot of US Airways Flight 1549 who was able to successfully land a plane in New York City’s Hudson River. He began the evening by showing the NTSB’s […]

This weekend would be a good time to have as my superpower the ability to travel anywhere in the world and be in several places at once. If I could, I’d stop first in Richmond, British Columbia, a short SkyTrain ride away from the Vancouver International Airport to watch 13 million (!!) locally-grown cranberries get […]
If you have an extra $3.5 million hanging around and you’re wondering what to get for that special frequent flier this year, consider snapping up the Aerocar Model One Flying Automobile. Invented by Moulton Taylor in Longview, Washington in 1949, the Aerocar was a “roadable” airplane certified for use as both a plane and an […]
